This is the first time I have been truly jealous of someone’s apartment. Amazing!

Agree with the above comment. Absolutely perfect apartment! Stunning, well done

Beautiful, artsy, classy, but with just the right amount of restraint and grace. Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate the "before" pictures - they show just how much effort went into changing the space into the masterpiece it is. Love those moveable doors around the bedroom!

i'm especially envious since Daniel looks about my age. Why can't I have nice things!

Got to comment again, this is the best apartment I've ever seen on AT!

i know i said this during our shoot Danny, but those sliding french doors to open/close off your bedroom are to die for.

Really nice job of embracing the building as you say, especially with the kitchen. I like the idea of a patterned wallpaper accent, but I think I might get a little dizzy while trying to watch the TV that's hanging over it.

fabulous!

Danny, when are you going on vacay and more importantly, when can I move in? Come back to NYC and let's trade places for a week:). Unbelievable and utterly amazing. I have to give a nod to the stairs. I love the way the loft opens and defines the more intimate spaces with the stairs and what you did as extensions of them. Where did you find those doors????

Wow! I'm speechless. Your entire place is perfection!

amazing! nothing but envy:)
what american flag painting? It is mentioned twice but i do not see it?

Good taste and money can make a great apartment.

I'm really jealous of pretty much everything, especially that Chesterfield couch.

@AMANDARH - Look at photo 5. It's the black matte painting with the stripes.

thanks for all the love y'all! the doors are custom from a local woodshop here in LA, not sure what the hardware was called, but it's for bi-folding doors. The wallpaper took about 2 days to get used to, but now i get dizzy when i watch a tv without it! and the american flag painting is in image 5, its black black drips on matte black canvas.

LOVE.

Gorgeous! Definitely one of my top 5 favorite tours ever.

1 bedroom and 1390 sq. ft?
Now I am jealous, we have a 4 bedroom 1 1/2 bath, 2 floors and it's 1200!

LOVE this. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love!

I think everything is fabulous. There is not one thing I don't like. And that's a rare statement coming from me.

And I agree, having the before pictures just sends it over the top. There was nothing wrong with anything in the before pictures, really, but the after is just so fantastic.

Glad someone shared what the American Flag art was because I couldn't really figure it out. If it were an American Flag it would be hanging incorrectly so maybe that is why I was having trouble.
The apartment is wonderful though! I love the grey and teal!

Fabulously tasteful. Impeccable, really. I'm in love with your place!!!

Absolutely adore this apartment.

I was in love about half way through but then when I saw the before pics, I was amazed. Now that's what I call having a vision. Absolutely Fabulous!

Beautiful space.Very well done. The light and dark work wonderfully, and the light over the dining table is fantastic.

Wow, nice job!

The Broadway was a flop of condo project that resulted in a bunch of foreclosures & short sales. I thought part of the issue was the bad finishes chosen by the developer. Clearly, they should have hired Daniel!

Genius!

Not my idea of industrial, but very well done. Those custom doors are amazing. I would have liked to have seen more Lower East Side grittiness though, seems a little too showroom-like, but that's just my opinion.

I as well don't find this very industrial. When I think industrial I think much more of raw and selvaged materials. I don't think of crown moulding or that style of cabinetry in an industrial loft, it feels more like a large high end house to me. I do love the bedroom, though.

Super cool. Love the light fixture's and throughout, especially the one above the dining table!

In love. And thank you for including before pictures!

I never lingered over a house tour like I did this one! Black/white/gray with colorful accents is my cholor scheme, too, so I took several lovely ideas from your house, Daniel -- especially glossy black over matte black ... sharp!! I would have loved a shot of the views, too!

Also, FWIW I don't like the fixture over the dining table, either ... but maybe it reads "lighter" when it's switched on and glowing over dinner?

Okay Danny you have great taste, but I have a few comments. The best of your apartment is your kitchen, bath, and bedroom. The kitchen is a stroke of genius, the bedroom too. But here's what I don't like - he wallpapers. In the photos it's a lettle hard to see exactly what the wallpapers are about, but I don't like them and I think you will soon replace them with something more substanital.

That said, you have doen a GREAT job.

I just died a thousand times over. Best. AT. Tour. EVER.

GREAT job, although I like certain elements more than others. (Love those bedroom doors!) But the green slipper chair next to the couch doesn't seem to fit, color-wise.

Okay, "Industrial" does not do this apartment justice. This is so stunning and elegant! Your kitchen and bathroom are beautiful, and I love the ottoman and dining chairs. Congratulations on a gorgeous job well done!

This is an amazing loft! There is so much to love about it - the bifolding doors to the bedroom, the restrained use of colours and mix of modern and rustic styles. It's just perfect! Definitely inspirational! Great job!

I don't think that what's in his closets is anywhere near as embarrassing as what's in mine.

I like the green slipper chair. I'm too envious to take in much else. Next time.....

Your place is awesome!,,,,,I am so in love...just awesome!!!

hands down...the best tour on AT to date. AMAZING.

I don't really understand the choices given the gestalt of the space (the kitchen especially-- but I have to say the choices and layout in general look like a furniture store), but obviously there was a lot of thought and money put into the apartment.

Love that bedroom!

150 pairs of shoes?

That closet!!!!

Actually, that entire apartment!!!!!

This is the perfect apt!! The layout couldn't be more perfect. The bathroom is very nice but in comparison to the rest of your stunning place it lacks a little personality.

@nevadan, rude much? Not sure where you're going with telling the owner that he'll "replace them with something more substantial." The wallpaper is great. Even if you don't care for it, it's not YOUR place to say what someone will do about it. What an unbelievably ridiculous comment.

Beautiful! I looked at a couple of photos of places for sale in your building, and I wouldn't pay a dime for them the way they're decorated. Just love it.

Why do I get the feeling that there's a painting of Daniel in the attic in which he's a fat, bald 45 year old? It's the only way I can explain how someone who looks 15 has such mature tastes in home design! He looks like a rich kid living in his parents' pied a terre.

All joking aside, this place is WOW. The Before pictures show just how much vision Daniel had in creating this home. It's stunningly beautiful, and living there would be a dream come true.

love! m

Sorry! Two questions:
1) What style is the green chair in your LR?
2) Where did you get the dog statue/creation with the crown?

Gorgeous. 100%.

I am completely OBSESSED with that fabulous dark wallpaper!!! Anyone know the source?

really enjoyed this tour! fabulous, absolutely fabulous! just wondering where the barstools are from.

Really, really like this. (And thank you, AT photographer, for photographing the rooms and giving a sense of the layout and space, rather than just photographing vignettes.)

@KATHMUSE i have no idea what style the chair is :!. i bought it at crate and barrel a long time ago when i lived in new york (i think they still carry them in different colors) and it was the only piece i kept that i didn't refinish since i ran out of money...once i make some more its getting a splash of missoni :). but it matches the paul smith chairs so i kept it for now. and the dog with the crown was a birthday present from my sister, its pinky from victoria's secret from a few years ago :)

@BESTLEEHA the wallpaper is f schumacher. the black on black one is from the Kelly Wearstler for schumacher collection which i did because she did the lobby of the building so i found it fitting to tie the 2 together

Fantastic. Love the Paul Smith stripe chairs. And just the right amount of whimsey to balance things out.

Daniel you are a talented man.
I loved the originality of the loft. The combination of "rustic" in such a modern space.
The only thing I notice was the duvet...no cover? Or just in laundry?
So yound and accomplished. You deserve.

Fabulous and inspirational. I never could picture myself living in a loft until I saw what you'd done with this one. Love it, truly well done.

This is without a doubt my favourite house tour seen on AT thus far. I love it!

My only dissappointment is that I'll never be cool enough to live in a place like this. Thanks for the inspiration.

crazy gorgeous!

everything is really well thought-out and very well put together... and of course my mind and eye directly to the uncovered duvet!

the finishes are amazing. the layout well done. the entrance is spectacular! i really do not understand how the before became the after with only a year? were you living in there as sections got completed?!

@BLACKINK hahaha a lot of people seem to be noticing the duvet. I used to have just a white comforter but my dog destroyed it and I had just gotten this one a couple weeks before the shoot and didn't find a dog friendly cover yet that i liked. I figured it made more sense to just do the duvet rather than the sheet i have covering it to protect from the dog while i search for the right one! Oh and the renovation took 4 months none livable and 2 months livable (paint, touchups, finishing, electronics, tile work, etc.)

incredibly beautiful

This apartment is horrible, let me take it off your hands for you!!

Seriously, I am forest green with envy, this is THE BEST house tour AT has EVER had, hands down! I am totally bookmarking this tour!

I mean, I don't know where to begin. The dining space is so incredible! It's like French country meets Hollywood glamour! Amazing!

Can we make a contest...any contest just so this apartment can win first place?! WOW WOW WOW!!!!!

I think I need a cigarette. And I don't smoke. Absolutely beyond.

I think I'm dizzy right now.

Each picture was better than the last- I cannot find one problem or quibble- the space is absolutely sublime.

*drooling*

Perfect in every way. Probably my favorite house tour ever. If you ever come to Boston, stop by and give me some design pointers!

The pendant light over the dining table is actually the only thing that *speaks* to me.

P.S. So many cabinets, so few dishes!

Seriously, probably one of the best AT tours in a loooong time. So. Amazing.
Love how you have before pictures of the "blank canvas" so to speak. What was with that crazy car mural!??
Everything in this house is impeccable. I echo other commenters: Why can't I have a place like this?!!

Awesome!!

A-freaking-mazing. I gotta go look at it some more.

Fabulous!! Its just amazing how you put everything together!!

I never comment on AT... but this is just stunning. What talent you have!!

I have no desire to live in LA, but if I could live in this exquisite loft, I would change that desire ASAP! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Every inch of it. Daniel, you are oozing with talent and you know what to do with it.

LUV IT!! and I think the green chair is gorgeous, a pop of color that works so well. I wouldn't go with a change (if you were interested in my opinion).
Congratulations and enjoy!

Absolutely fantastic! You have a great eye for decorating! Such a big space and everything flows beautifully! That closet and the bedroom - wow!

I'm pinning your apartment on Pinterest. Incredible. Inspiring. Enjoy it and thanks for sharing!

Great space but too cold

i, too, am pinning! amazing place. i renovated my loft in oakland, and yours puts mine to shame (er, we may not have had the same budgets, though :-). so inspiring and creative, great balance of masculine/feminine. in love with the sofa!

What a fab pad, so stylish and homely too; you have great taste.

Speechless. Absolutely freakin awesome.

Why cant lofts like this exist on Long Island? There is nothing interesting about LI's "McMansions" or developments where all the houses are/were built by one company. I would love to live in this loft!!
Barri S.

Fabulous! Who wouldn't love a guy who can wear pink polka dot socks and live in such a beautiful place?

Ballin'!!!!!!
&Beautiful.

Holly Cow! What a fabulous place! Very well done! Great photography too! You have captured the essence of this groovy place!

Cool Paul

So tied together - flows beautifully - a wonderful space.

Gorgeous place! The "before" shots really give extra perspective on what a fantastic job you've done.

I usually like parts of the homes featured on AT but this is the first home I've seen where I LOVE everything. I can see myself living in a space like this. Congrats on a stunning and comfortable home. Seeing the 'before' pictures provides some idea of how much work went into making this home so beautiful.

Just as the first commenter said, this is the first house tour in a loooooooong time that really impressed me and made me wish I could make instant modifications to my industrial loft! Love that kitchen and awesome bedroom doors!

Very nice one! I love the dark walls and the wall paper. It makes the space very intimate and glamourous...
Another gorgeous appartment wich looks lioke a house is the Alemany5 in Spain. Rustic and modern. Here: http://apetitpoisdesign.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/house-alemanys-5.html

Really just want to cry!!!! The bathroom and bedroom area are so amazing.
You did a really nice job with your place.

I love everything about this apartment.

I have to ask -- is this really what Apartment Therapy is all about? This kid clearly has gobs and gobs of family money and a team of professional decorators sweating last inch of this apartment. It isn't aspirational -- it's impossible. I come to AT for all the things **my** home could be, not a sneak peek into the lives of children of the uber-wealthy. Yeah, it's nice -- it's dripping with calculated cool. So what? With more money than god and the hottest interior designers in LA, anyone could have this apartment.

"Nouveau riche goes to HD Buttercup"

Great apartment. But the biggest indulgence was not the new fabric, but the gut renovation of what looks like a recent update.

I kind of agree with ray in Denver. Ithnk it would have been a greater design challenge to make something look great using the existing kitchen and bathroom. It always easier from a design perspective to rip out what's there. Of course not easier from a convenience and cost perspective.

Still a great looking place.

Amazing house tour.

I have one word for this place, SEXY!!!!

Having gobs of money doesn't necessarily mean gobs of taste, even with a designer. I don't know if Danny has "gobs" of money, but he clearly has a good sense of what works for him in terms of his living space. Very impressive, indeed!

This is ridiculously sexy. Congrats!

I have loved many of the apartments I've seen on AT, but this is my favorite. Just exquisite to the last detail.

Pretty much perfect I have to say!! KUDOS!

love!

This is wonderful - congratulations for seeing past the way it was before and breathing new and inspiring life into this apartment. It is classic, bold and fun all at the same time and will still be a stunner in 10 years time!

WOW this space is amazing. I'm speechless.

This loft is beyond gorgeous. However there are a few details that I want to quibble about. I think the bathroom looked better in the before shot. The after bathroom looks like a bathroom one might find in any American mcmansion. Second, I think the kitchen cabinets are a little too suburan as well. The crown molding on the cabinets is really too much. My last gripe is with the green Crate and Barrel chair in the living area. I can't wait for that chair to be reupholstered.

Overall, this is one of the most beautiful homes I have seen. I will be sure to bookmark this one.

gorgeous.
of course some of the stuff, doesn't fit my personal taste, but I love the majority of it.

just a question, there's no mention of the stunning cabinet that is sitting right outside your bedroom, by the office. could you let the people know where you got that piece? thanks.

I'm staring at these pictures and pretty much drooling over all of this. Some truly genius transformations here that I think truly make this space so much better than before. The stair transformation from railing and steps to a large wide step platform is genius. I love how that just opens up the place and makes it feel so much larger. The addition of the brick in the kitchen and the bedroom really adds a sense of history and texture to the architecture, which I'm sure echoes the exteriors of the building. A lot of times in these loft spaces, the interiors lose all textures and detail so I'm glad to see some of this was put back, even if it's "fake".

I do think that this style is more traditional (tile, cabinets, trim choices) with a touch of industrial but who really cares what style it is - it's GORGEOUS!!!!

that is timothy oulton. i got it at hd buttercup. i dont believe that specific design was carried in the store, so i had to order it from Europe.
